Vijayawada: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said that the denotification of Pattas will restore the farmers’ right to sell of gift the land as full pledged owners.

AP CM YS Jagan launched the distribution of denotification to the farmers at Avanigadda Jr. College on Thursday in Krishna District. He launched the program of denotification of 35, 669 acres of land throughout the State. Jagan said he stood before them with a solution to their unresolved land problems due to lack of clarity and proper records.

Speaking on the occasion he explained that denotification of lands from Section 22A will fully restore the rights of farmers, who were barred from selling or gifting them due to the wrong policies of the previous TDP regime.  The programme is only part of the resurvey of lands taken up after 100 years to permanently solve the land disputes across the State.

As many as 10,019 farmers in Avanigadda constituency alone will get their rights back over 15,791 acres while the rest of them across the State will get freedom from Section 22A in phases. The anti-farmer TDP Government brought several GOs in May 2016, taking away the rights of farmers by including certain categories of lands like ‘Chukkala Bhumulu’, ‘Anadita Bhumulu’ and assigned lands in Section 22A barring the farmers from selling or gifting  them to others.

He urged people to see the difference between the policies of the TDP and YSRC governments. Even 75 years after Independence, farmers and land owners are facing multiple problems due to lack of error-free land records. The YSRCP Government is transforming the State into a role model by implementing several pro-farmer policies.

He further elaborating on the land resurvey programme said that in the last 100 years no such resurvey was conducted to correct the lapses. His Government has taken up the re-survey to ensure foolproof land records, he added. Latest technologies are being used to ensure records are made transparent, which will bring an end to land disputes.

About 15,000 surveyors have been recruited for this purpose and resurveying lands will be done with the latest technology at the expense of crores of rupees. We will also using planes, helicopters, drones, and rovers and marking the correct boundaries, updating the records, and giving the right documents to the deserving ones.
